IE’s Lisa Guerrero locked the bike to a signpost in North Hollywood and soon enough, a man used a wire cutter to break the lock and take off with the bike.

A wild chase ensued through the streets of North Hollywood. Using the tracking devices, we followed the thief to an underground Los Angeles Metro station and found him sitting on the train platform with the bike resting next to him.

“Why did you steal my bike?” Guerrero asked.

“I wanted to get high. I'm an addict,” he admitted.

She replied: “That gives you the right to take someone else's property?”

“No. It doesn't,” he said.

The thief then took off on a train.

Guerrero also locked the bike up on the Venice Beach boardwalk and once the sun went down, the bike attracted lots of interest.

One man walked past the bike five times before pulling out a tool and cutting through the cable lock.

“There he goes. He just took our bike!” Guerrero said as the thief pedaled away.
